Welcome 2nd Trimester

Welcome to all of my 2nd trimester students!
Here is an update on what we are currently doing:

Health:  We are researching mental disorders and disabilities and the students will be creating presentations in groups on a mental disorder/disability of their choice.  We are also going to be watching the movie "Radio" starting on Wednesday.
      **Disclaimer--if I do not have your student's permission slip (course disclosure) signed, they will not be allowed to watch "Radio."
